Maharashtra Tightens Cooperative Housing Society Redevelopment Rules with New Transparency Measures
Maharashtra's government has introduced stricter rules for cooperative housing society redevelopment, emphasizing transparency and member participation. Key changes include mandatory attendance of the Registrar's officer during developer selection, a requirement for at least three developer bids, and approval from at least 51% of society members. The policy allows virtual attendance for certain members and mandates timely execution of redevelopment agreements and project completion within two years. Documentation and meeting recordings must be accessible to members, enhancing accountability throughout the process.
